lock_rename() is a bit of a red herring here - they appear to be all
within-directory renames, so it's just a "trying to rename something
in a directory that has ->i_mutex held by something else".
IOW, something else in there is holding ->i_mutex - something that
either hadn't been through lock_rename() at all or has already
passed through it and still hadn't got around to unlock_rename().
In either case, suspects won't have lock_rename() in the trace...
